Chapter 239: Royal Business

As soon as she entered the door, Yan Xiaoyue shouted: "Is there anything left for me to eat, I'm about to starve to death." ”

When he saw a table of untouched wine and food, he was stunned and said, "Why don't you eat first?" ”

Qi Anning let go of the chess pieces in his hand, got up and said: "Rest today, I have a late breakfast, I don't feel hungry, so I will practice with Siyan Chess first, and it will not be too late to use it when you come." ”

Yan Xiaoyue was moved: "Then let's start eating now, I don't know if the food is cold." ”

Jin Ling on the side stepped forward and said: "No, Your Majesty ordered earlier, wait for the master to come back and eat, these are all waiting for the master to cross the Yingyue Canal before coming up." ”

The three of them cleaned their hands and sat down according to their positions, Qi Anning sat in the right position, Yan Xiaoyue and Jiang Siyan sat on both sides, Jiang Siyan helped fill the wine, got up and raised a glass to Qi Anning and said: "This cup respects Your Majesty, thank you Your Majesty for valuing Yueniang so much." ”

Yan Xiaoyue's eyes flashed, this is not like Jiang Siyan would say, this person is very abnormal today, I wish Yan Xiaoyue didn't have contact with any man on weekdays, what is going on today?

Qi Anning also raised his cup, "You sit down first, today is to have a family banquet, no need to be polite." Besides, Yueniang has saved my life, and I just can't do anything to express my gratitude. ”

After the two of them drank wine, Yan Xiaoyue said with a smile: "Your Majesty told me not to be polite as soon as we met, but I didn't expect you to become the most polite person." I will drink the wine again, eat some vegetables and press it, and it will be uncomfortable to save the strength of the wine. ”

Although the wine I drank today is fruit wine, it has been put in the space for so many years, but I am afraid that it has been put into a hundred years of alcohol, and it tastes very good, but the strength of the wine is not small. Drinking on an empty stomach is the easiest to get drunk and the most hurtful.

Yan Xiaoyue had been running around for most of the day, and she was indeed hungry, so she didn't care about any dignity and humility, and after Emperor Chaohui moved her chopsticks, she also followed the vegetables to eat. With just a glance at this table, Yan Xiaoyue knew which dishes were made by Jin Ling.

"Your Majesty. This black bean sauce dace is Jin Ling's specialty. Salty and delicious, you can taste it. ”

"There is also this braised sea cucumber, which I learned from Nanyang. The taste is very different from what the Imperial City makes, you try it. ”

"This is what I came up with, the secret spicy pan eel, which tastes very good. It's just that the food doesn't look very good. After speaking, Yan Xiaoyue clipped one. Hold it in your hand and teach it in person, tearing one of the loins of the little yellow eel and placing it on the plate of the prayer for peace.

Then he tore another one and fed it into his mouth, which could have been eaten as long as he picked out the intestines. It's just that Yan Xiaoyue is a little disgusted, so she only eats one loin.

Qi Anning looked at the extra dishes in the bowl, smiled, picked up the eel meat picked out by Yan Xiaoyue and put it in his mouth to taste it carefully. It's spicy and fragrant, and it's very good.

Yan Xiaoyue looked at Qi An'an after eating. Only then did he realize that he was worried: "Your Majesty can eat spicy, right?" ”

Jiang Siyan smiled on the side: "The lady is only asking now, will it be a little late?" ”

Qi Anning took a sip of fruit wine and looked at Yan Xiaoyue with a smile, "It's okay, this tastes pretty good, it's not too spicy, I can accept it, how could Yueniang think of such a strange way to eat?" ”

Jiang Siyan chuckled, "Your Majesty just saw a dish, and said it was strange." ”

Qi Anning was surprised: "There are other dishes?" As he spoke, he swept his eyes over the table, and what he saw was what he was used to.

Yan Xiaoyue glared at Jiang Siyan, just don't eat on weekdays, and specially dismantle her Taiwan reads();.

"Your Majesty, don't listen to the nonsense of the prime minister, he is timid, he doesn't dare to eat these things, he really has eyes and doesn't know gold and jade."

Jiang Siyan also turned his head to Qi Anning and complained: "Your Majesty, don't forget about eating this eel, do you want to eat this fried grasshopper and fried bee chrysalis?" ”

Yan Xiaoyue pouted, knowing that the joke scared Jiang Siyan, but he didn't expect that he still remembered it, it seemed that he really had a deep impression of the terrifying dinner that day.

Qi Anning listened, and asked Jiang Siyan seriously: "Siyan, is Yueniang out of money?" ”

Yan Xiaoyue listened, and directly injured herself, so grasshoppers and bee pupae are both high-content proteins, okay? Besides, it's all produced in the space, and the taste is not generally good, so is it necessary to eat it so strangely? What else did she say she didn't have money?

Jiang Siyan was also skeptical when he heard this: "Lady, you have been going out to make money in recent years, and Yuehuazhuang in Lingnan is also going to expand, are you short of money?" When he first got married, he wanted to hand over part of the property to his wife, but at that time Yan Xiaoyue was tired and didn't want to take it over at all, and then he also knew that Yan Xiaoyue was indeed not short of money, so he didn't mention it again, did the lady really start to get nervous?

Yan Xiaoyue said angrily: "What, tell you to taste that bee chrysalis, you don't listen, it's really delicious." Besides, if I have a son and my brother, how can I be short of money? Brother Zigui said that the women of those nomadic tribes in the north are very envious of the skin of our people here, and if they ship skin care products there to sell them, they will definitely make a lot of money. ”

Qi An Ning listened, "The cost of rouge gouache in the palace is also quite large, and Xiao Qi gives it to several concubines and princesses on weekdays, so it is better for me to let the Internal Affairs Office buy it from you in the future." ”

Yan Xiaoyue hurriedly refused: "Don't, this rouge gouache is no better than other things, if you use bad people, then I can't be responsible." Besides, what if something goes wrong with it in the future? ”

Qi Anning said strangely: "How is this possible, everything purchased by the Internal Affairs Office will be specially examined by the imperial doctor." ”

Yan Xiaoyue's face flushed, she really didn't know about this, but thinking about it, the Internal Affairs Office is equivalent to the housekeeper of the entire royal family, not only serving the harem concubines, but also serving the emperor, it is really impossible to do anything in the tribute.

"Then I have to wait for my brother's reply, I can just sell the things in Yuehuazhuang in my own store."

"Then you can sell everything to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and you can make it easier."

Yan Xiaoyue weakly reminded, "Your Majesty, the price of my things is not cheap, ten taels of silver a bottle." ”

Qi Anning directly ignored Yan Xiaoyue's words, raised his cup and took a sip.

Jiang Siyan said with a smile: "It turns out that the lady said so much because she was worried that Her Majesty would not be able to pay the silver!" ”

Yan Xiaoyue's eyes opened, did she mean this? When I think about it, I guess I'm a little worried.

Qi Anning glanced at it, "The price of each bottle is fifteen taels, and tomorrow I will let Qi Lianyu come to Jiang Siyan to talk." ”

Yan Xiaoyue's mind is dizzy, fifteen taels per bottle? The son raised half of the price, and this person is too rich. However, Yan Xiaoyue was smart and didn't say anything again, otherwise she was really afraid that Qi Anning would be anxious with her, the entire Great Zhou was the emperor's, she dared to suspect that the biggest rich man in the whole day couldn't afford to buy things, did anyone look down on people like this?

Emperor Zhaohui was happy in Jiang Mansion, and did not return to the palace until dinner, and when he went back, he was full of a relaxed smile, and he was happy that Xiaoweizi was like a flower. (To be continued.) )
